ouch, I hate the back pain things especially the one split second pain hat knocks the wind out of me so then I spend the rest of the time it takes for it to untweak ,being extremely careful because that pain although last a split second or to can drop me like a bag of potatoes also take the wind out of my lungs so I spend my time breathing certain ways because even breathing slightly different can cause that pain . for myself it is always the worst trying to get out of bed then moving around for the first 20 minutes to hour with that fear it will kick in at any moment so don't move but if I don't move then I stay stiff, so moving is always my best option, even though that chance of me dropping increases , by mid day I kind of train myself how to move , then the next day rinse and repeat. also I avoid sitting down for too long if I do, and it feels kind of sort of ok and I have to get up well the possibility of that pain increases 10-fold .
Yep that's exactly where I'm at. Getting out of bed was brutal this morning. Had to roll over ony stomach and worm my way down to my knees and stand up.

I understand this based on the 3 years of severe sciatica I was dealing with. that lil WMD kitten I shared on the pets forum? I bent over to pet her and it released absolute chaos. I also get ribs that pop out...not sure if it's dislocation, but when they do that, it can be agony.

I dislike pain. <_<

Mini-rant - not a real rant more surprised than anything.

3d Scanner showed up yesterday after a couple weeks of delays where they didn't even bother to ship it out. I also ordered a new enclosure for the resin printer to help with VOC control and a textured print bed for the K1C. Due to the awkward shape of the enclosure package they shipped it as 2 boxes with 2 tracking numbers. Even labeled the boxes as a multi-box shipment.

They both traveled together, both arrived in Edmonton at the same time but put them on 2 different UPS trucks for delivery. One showed up around 1pm and the next around 2pm, different drivers not the same truck coming back because they missed it.

Anyways to the point their sorting and organizing is bad enough that they will send 2 trucks to the same house in the same day delivering from the same shipment instead of making sure both boxes are on the same truck. No wonder the shipping costs get so expensive at times.

hehe ya sometimes it seems people get that whole drone thing happening in there head like a machine tend to not notice simple things like in your case same shipments arriving same day going to the same place the person is just so automatically doing things they just dont notice it , like almost every delivery driver that comes to my building either just doesn't want to deliver it to my suit and claims know ones home when they pressed the suit number, even though right on the box it says buzzer number but they failed t osee it or they are just so lazy then dropit at the door and run off which happens most times I just do my best to get every single delivery delivered to the post office that is a 3-minute walk away .

The companion to this is two different deliveries on the same truck..... Get one from the driver and ask him if there's a second one.... get "no" for an answer and then a sheepish grin when he drives around the block to deliver the second. :)

I actually tried to get the drivers attention and he looked at me then drove off as I was trying to avoid exactly that.

okay, they need to make SATA drives like USB-C...make it so it doesn't' matter if it's up or down and more importantly, doesn't matter if it's front or back. LoL! I was putting a TG Vulcan Z SSD into an M900q and after all the fine fiddling (my fingers are clumsy) the tray and SSD wouldn't seat properly and then I realized it was backwards. all better now...but bleh, LoL!!!

There is definitely a trick to engaging those sleds that is less obvious when a drive is in it. Also make sure you didn't disconnect the wifi wire. When I was showing @Caldezar the drive sleds I specifically called out to be careful with them and promptly disconnected it myself by accident after bringing attention to it. 🤦‍♂️
